Q: How does $5,000 complete system outperform a $3,700 GPU-only option?

While a standalone high-VRAM GPU (such as those priced around $3,700 with substantial memory for AI tasks) provides raw compute, SENTER delivers a fully integrated, turnkey workstation. This includes a balanced assembly of premium components—CPU, RAM, storage, and cooling—optimized for AI workloads, eliminating the time and expertise required for custom builds, compatibility troubleshooting, and software configuration. Pre-installed SenterAI adds immediate value through local inference engines, extensible agents, and privacy-focused tools, enabling out-of-the-box productivity.

Moreover, SENTER's design as a standardized node in a future decentralized network unlocks long-term benefits like access to enhanced models, transforming it from a static device into an evolving asset in a collective AI ecosystem.

What about warranty and support?

SENTER comes with a 1-year hardware warranty + lifetime software updates + 24/7 Discord community.

Can SENTER really run 70B models?

Yes. 64GB VRAM handles Llama-70B at ~43 tokens/second.

How fast is setup?

15 minutes from unbox to inference. Pre-configured + GitHub documentation.

When will units ship?

Presale ships before end of Q3 2025. Order now = priority shipping. (Limited to continental USA)

Where is your lab located, and do you serve clients remotely?

We’re based in Austin, Texas, but we work with clients worldwide on qualifying R&D projects.
